Patrick
McGoohan is of course, with regards to Television series, best remembered
for "The Prisoner", "Danger Man", and "Columbo".

However,
another series he worked on extensively was "Rafferty". Produced
in 1977 it has been described as a precursor to the highly successful
TV series "House" and starred McGoohan as the cantakerous
title character. Whilst McGoohan himself did not appear to remember
the series too fondly, 34 years on, fans of McGoohan's work are campaigning
for it to receive a DVD release following a resurgence in the series
appearing in clip form online and elsewhere.

Colony
3 is a privately run online discussion forum and members are asking
fans to contact copyright owners Warner Brothers to ask for a release.
Stated one member; "go to the wb official site, scroll down to
bottom of page and on left will be customer service, where you can leave
a detailed message. I was told that corporate makes the final choice
as to what is available but they did say that all messages are forwarded
to corporate and that if there was enough interest it would get their
attention."

The
Unmutual Website would like to support this 'campaign' and feels that
all McGoohan's work should be available through legitimately obtainable
means. Fans wishing to see this release can also visit http://www.tvshowsondvd.com
and vote for it!

With
thanks to the members of Colony Three nd Tom Mayer for this news item.
